free speech vs homilies

I won't yell fire in a crowded theatre (who does that sorta thing? especially when it's dark and everyone can see the tell tale no-glow... and if it's a Rajni movie you might be killed) but I'll call out pederasty when I see it. Like this guy does.

Addendum: it's even happening at the UN! That's the United-bleeping-Nations. Articles by Norwonk, John Turley and the eloquent Johann Hari.
So it's not, as the saying goes, only in India, where the editor and publisher of The Statesman were arrested by West Bengal Police for reprinting Johan Hari's article (link) ...and everybody knows about the Ram Sena and the VHP and, most recently, the MNS and oh let's not forget our honourable mentions, the hilariously named Catholic Secular Forum. Not to mention the threats of legal action by our very own government against certain media outlets. More on the same theme from T.P Sreenivasan of the Tribune.

  1. (people won't hear you in a rajini movie even if you yell all you want. I doubt if even you will be able to hear yourself.)
